Did it also say that when the child falls over or is hurt in some way they are likely to run around their father to get to their mother for comfort? Didn't watch it, wish I had now. Might see if I can find it on repeat.

They didn't cover that, it's a series about fatherhood and the program just went on about how wonderful dads are (but did cover some interesting facts) - I know some dads on here obviously didn't get the memo!

Jenny you've just reminded me, OH's old housemate did some filming for that programme with his DD! We knew we wanted to watch something last night but couldn't remember what.

Oh my god!!!!!!!! I'm watching the last episode of House that I sky +ed a couple of weeks ago and they just cut a girl's leg off with no pain relief :eek:

p.s. I know it's not real, but it freaked me out

I can give you a summary from what I remember:
When men become dads their hormone levels change so they are more nurturing (missed what causes the change though). This prevents them being too aggressive with their babies. After a while the levels return to normal and they provide more rough and tumble play and also a greater vocabulary which pushes children to test their limits and learn more. They also are better disciplinarians because they set rules. eg. rather than saying, 'I would like you to do this,' or using emotional reasons which women do more, men just say do this because I say so. Then girls who have had a good relationship with their fathers are more likely to marry someone who looks like their father.

Hubby has texted to say he has just made the last train by seconds but he is bursting for the loo and there is no toilet on the train! Stupid man. It's an hour journey and then a 10 minute walk.

Oh well, at least I know he is on his way so I won't need to pick him up! Off to bed to read my book now.

Night everyone.

ooh, was he the single dad? They had a single dad on who was really good. They said single dads are good at having fixed routines and making everyday tasks fun leading to confident, independent children.

I am guessing he won't still need a wee by the time he gets to you


Hubby bought Benjamin a real England kit today (:eek:) and it is the all white one (:eek::eek::eek:) I am sending Benjamin to the CM in it tomorrow - it is his morning at pre-school so the older kids should like it! Hope my dutch CM thinks it is okay :cool:
